Will Vijay quit acting after entering politics? Director Venkat Prabhu spill the beans

Will Vijay continue acting? 

Venkat was questioned about whether Vijay’s nascent political career had any bearing on the movie. Regarding the use of the song Marudhamalai Maamaniye and its political implications, the director responded:“It’s not a political reference, it’s a Ghilli reference. It’s Ghilli-tical. You’ve all seen the film. Why don’t you ask the makers of Ghilli about using Lord Murugan as a political tool?”

He added, “Vijay sir didn’t want any line to be written that furthered his political agenda. GOAT is a commercial film. Of course, some dialogues in the trailer might allude to his political career. But when you see the film, you’ll see how it fits the narrative. There are no political references. Vijay sir sees a film as a film; we’ve never discussed politics.”

Venkat stated, “Just like everyone here, and scores of Vijay fans, I too want to see him continue acting. In fact, I asked him if he would balance both. He just smiled and said, we’ll see. It will always be our dream to see him on screen. But he has a dream too; an aspiration. And I think we should support it.”
